Apple cider shake

Cider Shake

Equipment needed:
Average sized blender, 1 teaspoon, 1 Ice cream scoop, and (three large drinking glasses or 5 small ones)

Ingredients needed:
Vanilla extract, Quart of ice cream (I usually use either French vanilla or Vanilla), and apple cider

This recipe makes 2.5 large servings or 5 small ones.

Please Note: if I skip a simple step or over simplify try to understand, (I’m used to writing directions for smart-alecky Elementary kids – even though this recipe would need some adult supervision.)

1. Take the lid off the blender pitcher (Keep pitcher in
stand).
2. Grab the container of Ice cream and the Ice cream scoop
3. Using the Ice cream scoop and scoop out the ice cream
from the container and release the ice cream as much of
the ice cream into the blender (Repeat step until
blender is full (Loosely not packed)
4. Set the Ice cream scoop in the sink and the Ice cream
on the counter.
5. Get the Vanilla extract and the teaspoon.
6. Remove the cap from the vanilla extract
7. Poor the vanilla extract 1 teaspoon at a time into the
teaspoon while holding both over the top of the blender
to prevent a mess (repeat step 5 times.)
8. Place teaspoon in sink and secure cap back on vanilla
extract and place on counter.
9. Tale the container of Apple Cider and remove the cap
and poor the apple cider into the blender until the
liquid is about 1” from the top.
10. Secure lid on the Apple Cider and return it to the
counter.
11. Put Blender lid on blender securely and hold it in
place with one hand. Make sure blender is off.
12. Plug in blender.
13. Turn blender on to med setting.
14. As the mix smoothes out you can switch to a higher
setting.
15. When what you can see through the side near the top
shows a smooth funnel with no chunks it is done.
16. Stop blender and unplug it.
17. Remove pitcher from base and cap from pitcher. Pour
contents into drinking glasses.
18. Place pitcher in sink if it is empty in blender stand
if it isn’t
19. Serve and enjoy the Cider shakes.

Have to try it- sounds good!
